Property owners and managers have what is known as a duty of care to make sure their property is properly maintained to prevent injuries to others and to fix unsafe conditions in a timely manner. If they fail to do so and you are injured due to this negligence, you have a valid slip and fall case.

Examples of negligence that lead to slips and falls are:

• A business has spilled something on the floor or left an area wet that was recently mopped
• Ice and snow were not timely removed from a walkway
• Floors are broken, cracked, have holes, or are uneven
• Carpet or rugs are not secure
• Stairs have broken or missing railings

In a slip and fall lawsuit, the responsible party is frequently the property or business owner or manager, but there may be multiple parties involved, such as joint owners and management companies, or even a municipality that had a duty to fix a broken sidewalk. Your personal injury attorney will strive to prove that any or all of these parties, the defendants in the case, were negligent and at fault.

To win the case, your slip and fall attorney must be able to establish that there was negligence by a defendant because:

• The defendant had a duty of care to keep the property safe.
• There was a dangerous condition on the property that posed an unreasonable risk of harm.
• The defendant knew or should have known about the condition.
• The defendant had time to remedy the condition but failed to do so.
• The defendant was negligent and failed to properly fix or warn about the defect which caused your accident.
• You suffered damages as a result.

At the same time, the negligent parties, their insurance companies, and their attorneys will try to shift liability and prove you were careless and at fault for the accident. Or they may claim they were never notified of the risk or that they didn’t have enough time or resources to fix it before someone was injured. Our slip and fall accident lawyers are prepared to combat these arguments by gathering evidence that includes:

• Investigating the accident scene
• Examining accident scene photos and videos
• Reviewing doctor and police reports
• Interviewing witnesses
• Looking for previous violations
• Hiring experts to reconstruct the accident, testify as to what happened, and prove what your past and projected future expenses may be.

If the property involved was owned by a city, county or state or a school, different rules may apply, such as giving formal written notice of the claim to the governmental entity within 180 days of the date of the accident. Our slip and fall injury attorneys will make sure this is done correctly.
